    I have 128MB on my box and can boot into DR-DOS 7.03, although I am
not using it much at present.  I ran into the same situation.  When I
used the DR-DOS EMM386.EXE, I could only "see" 64MB.  I tried using
HIMEM.SYS from Win98 (which I also have), and one of my programs lost
its mind.  I have an old copy of KEDIT v5.0, an XEDIT-like text editor. 
With only EMM386.EXE installed, KEDIT could see and use all 64MB, but
as soon as I put in HIMEM.SYS, KEDIT could only see and use 640KB!  Go
figure.
